NOW A FULL PART OUT-LS/4l80, linked, caged/full back half Tacoma prerunner

what are you gonna do for exhaust? from what ive seen before people run into problems because of the steering column

 

subbed!

 

Haven't gotten that far yet lol. It looks like it will clear. There is a ton more room than i thought there would be. Most likely going to build full custom headers and tie into the existing exhaust. I already have a different muffler and pipe under the truck.

 

Sub

 

Got a little transmission mount made onto the stock crossmember pretty bad picture

also got a mount fabbed up for the radiator in the rear

 

Radiator mount came out sick! Decided to use a clamp on design so i didnt have to screw up the powder coat. Planning on using tamper proof bolts. Now just to finish up with the transmission cooler and power steering cooler. Almost done with motor mounts too.

 

watching this closely. Doing a 5.3 swap has been on my mind lately.

No stoked about putting the radiator in the bed to make it fit. But gotta do what you gotta do.

Im going to be impressed if the exhaust work goes well.

 

id do it but same thing about the exhaust and space for maintenance down the road and whatnot

 

Ive yet to see a taco with a v8 that can make the exhaust work without running a body lift. And im not doing a body lift.

 

never in a million years will i do that to my truck lol trego has a body lift right?

 

Think so.

 

This was originally a 5.3 but now a 5.7 swap. The radiator will fit under the hood but i think it looks cooler in the back.

 

extra cool prerunner points. id do the same lol

 

If its worth doing, its worth overdoing in my mind lol

 

open some room up in the front. i dont have shit for bedspace anyway so i can think of a million things to load the back of my bed with random shit lol becuase trophy truck

 

There is a ton of room up front now. Haven't had to cut anything at all. Will have to trim very little for the atlas t case but thats it. Motor and trans fit like a dream. Once i put the 32 gallon tank, radiator and 2 other cooler fans on the back, all my real estate in the back will be sold lol

 

nice man, i really want an ls swap but i wanna keep my tranny so i dont have to fuck with it. how hard is wiring everything up? or are you mainly just fit and finish everything for now?

 

Haven't gotten to the wiring yet, getting everything to fit up now

so you like bronze Ray10s...

you can buy blemished of whatever color he has in stock and paint them yourself any shade of bronze you like.

 

Is that what you are doing? It's more of I'm waiting to see if any blems come up (4 of them did last week ) and can't afford them right now
